Here's a pretty good indication of the urgent need for clearer information, training and guidance on the Code for Sustainable Homes. In the online seminar held on the Building this lunchtime there were no less than 162 questions submitted. These ranged from the general - airtightness, thermal mass, renewables - to the very specific. One listener who is building a three bedroom house in Dorset asked whether using flint-faced bricks from a demolished garden wall would score highly in the code. Apparently they do as long as they are left exposed.

Do we know why leaving them exposed is necessary?

Don't have an earthly. We're asking the expert who advised this your question.
